Ah, Bataille and Lacan. Brings me back. I can almost smell the no-filter Camels,
the dusty card catalog (still had those back then), and the microwaved coffee.
Wasn't all bad, though, I used to meet a red haired nubile for stolen moments
in the mezzanine of the fourth floor of the Sterling stacks. And Lacan, Foucault,
Derrida, and their fellow travelers had a lot of interesting and challenging
things to say, no matter how easy it is (as in this case) to lampoon the
lesser academics who write about them.

The question of course, is, if you turned one of those
auto-generated essays, would you get a grade??
Hard to answer for sure, huh?

Looks a lot like some of the essays I wrote during the 70's after cramming
all night on "study aids".

One of my friends in college, a real smart guy, kept getting C's in
this one class. Turns out he just did not agree with the conclusions
of the teacher. He was writing great stuff, but getting nothing
but C's. So, he wrote something that sounded like the "party line"
for the class, but was actually complete rubbish, almost as bad as
the PoMo generator. He gave it to all of his friends to read and
every one came back with "this is bullsh*t", or "this is unreadable
bullsh*t"
Of course, he got an A...

At Yale it would depend on which grad student read the paper. I'd say it would
get a larger number of question marks in the margins and a B- which will
still get the sheepskin in the long run.
